Which will guarantee his reelection in 2020. The house democrats will make fools of themselves and Trump will take advantage of the situation.

I voted yesterday (Nov 6) and watched the "TBN News all last night.
I came to a conclusion late last night; you see, I once helped create a political party in CT in 1992 (spent two years doing it {Concerned Citizens of Connecticut} without $).
My belief:
(nothing for frustrated)

   Well, I voted this morning; I noticed quite a few Democrats were there were NO republican contenders; AND many other precincts had no contenders; Hey America, they ALL pay well. School administrations, and many other seats are not being contested.
   There are so many people complaining about American politics; yet so many people won't get involved. People complain about our school systems; what it taught; children's dress codes; American History; Geography was dropped in favor of Social Studies, we; our children don't need social stuff; they need to be taught. A few years ago a "new math" was being taught, what is wrong with our old math?
   Americans have become lazy; "if you cannot do something right now they quit".
   I saw on the Nightly News tonight that there are an extremely lot of uncontested races (Political Races) .
   Americans are allowing our nation (created by) GOD to be undermined from the inside.
   WHO will come to America's defense?

Welcome to the forum. We are now going to see the difference between republican investigations and democrat investigations.

So many great slap downs. McCasket, Beano, Gilliam, Enema, Bredesen, Karl Marx Dean, Nelson, Abrams.

It would have been fun to see the dems scream for losing the house, but I think it will be even funnier to watch what they do with it.

First, there will be cage match where the old guard Alzheimer's brigade demands all the chairmanships. I don't think that will go well.

Then it will be quite the shit show when they spend all their time doing nothing but their Trump hate.

This will be more useful to Trump in 2020 than if we had won the house. Still Have a great senate majority for Ginsburg's replacement. Have the veto pen. Have the prosecutions of 1001 criminals. All is well.

You've GOT TO go read D U. They're all screaming about leaving their state, refusing to go to Thanksgiving because their kin voted for racists, moaning that everybody in TN is going to hell, how they can't believe how evil America is. What a collection of punks, pukes, and pussies. But it's a great, hilarious treat to read their drivel !!

Trump was masterful yet again. Knew that he couldn't avoid the standard drop off in the house (which is still minor compared to Obama / Clinton losses), and he concentrated on big wins in the senate, and thumping all of the dems shiny new heroes. Can't stop the winning, it just rolls right along.

Hi! I'm new here, getting some consolation and even chuckles, and hope for the future from reading some of your posts. Laughed out loud at the two questions I had to answer to register!

Do you have to answer questions before every post?

What is DU? I try to read stuff by .. er .. "the other side," but it's really discouraging to see all the outright lies.

I'm looking for encouraging things to read and practical suggestions for helping preserve the American dream. Discouraged by so many votes for substanceless candidates and even millions of people voting against their self interest.

Welcome to the forum Rebecca.
I think you found the RIGHT place for humor and optimism.

Not much optimism here in Connecticut

A puppet government for Dem Malloy and a Dem controlled house and senate. It'll be a rough four years for me.

I'm in Ca where the Legislature just won a Super Majority, but to be honest, not much will change considering the RINO never really opposed anything they did.
I have hope this will speed the collapse of the State.

Such a grim outlook to say that the state needs to collapse before something will change but it's one that I've been coming to accept more and more here in CT.
